Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
1344 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

What does this have to do with anarchism?
This just seems like needless bait.
Class reductionism is certainly not a myth, you need look no further than the patsoc phenomenon or stupidpol.
To elaborate, the primary contradiction in the imperial core is colonized vs settler, this upends the typical class reductionist position that the cis-het white male proletariat is equally oppressed as others.
I will also say that ignoring intersectionality as this post seems to imply is reactionary.
In similar lines of thought, PatSocism and Maoism don't actually exist. The fact that some people are doing CR/PatSoc/Maoism doesn't matter, I don't think it exists.
Ooh! How about we try that with capitalism? Only a small group of people are capitalists, which means it doesn't actually exist!
...did it work?
You made your peace with neoliberalism and it shows.
Okay whatever dude.
